FARM, FIELD AND FIREsIDE.


The greatest mistake made in feeding
fowls is in overlooking. Hens are
gorged with food which makes fat in
stead OF providing those elements
which 60 to make up the egg. Corn
consists almost wholly of starch and
oil, and while it is a good food for
fattening fowls, it is one Of the worst
of all foods for producing eggs. No
one food contains all the needed ele-
ments, and mixture OF several kinds
should be given.
The story comes from Salem, ILL.,,
OF a flock OF $50 sheep that were
overtaken in their pasture by fire.
They at once made for a knoll in the
field, and there punched themselves,
with the lambs in the middle, and be-
gan moving in q circle, treading the
weeds and grass into the dry earth,
until the fire was out.
A weaned colt should have the best
hay and crushed oats. Clover hay,
free from dust, is very good; but
sweet mixed meadow hay, OF red top
and other meadow grasses, with bright
corn fodder, will be the best. Two
quarts o. crushed oats daily as be-
ginning, and gradually increased as
the colt grows, will be sufficient; a
little linseed mixed with the oats will
be beneficial. Thorough brushing and
the use of p card are necess airy to
keep the coat and skin in good order.
The well-known otten-observed fact
that soil continues fertile for q whole
generation on and around the site
from which an cid barn or house has
leen removed, affords full evidence Of
the truth of the opinion that the
main elements OF fertility are held by
the soil and only washed away when
it is washed away. They are given
out even to the roots OF plants but
with cautious sparingness-so much
each year and no more; in annual ra-
tions as it were, like the daily yearly
bread granted to man.
Michigan wheat statistics for the
crop year just closed, furnished by
the State Department, show an aver
age yield OF Is $40 bushels per acre,
aggregating 2,815, 153 bushels, w hich
is more than 100000 bushels less
than the average for the last eight
years. Conditions of soil which with
an average rainfall would have pro-
duced twenty five bushels to the acre
may have given but FIVE; while lighter
land, having good supply of humus,
would yield seventeen to twenty
bushels. The yield from fields sown
on summer fallow was IT 1-3 bushels,
while corn and wheat stubble gave
IL 1-3, and oat stubble IL 1-3 bush
els.
Most diseases of poultry are direct
~ traceable to filth. 1t is tiresome
thing to continually talk on such sub.
jects, but if it was made perpetual
there would still b, some persons
found with poultry-house reeking
with filth. Don't charge this neglect
up to your poultry, they can't help it
and are not accountable for your lack
of attention. Try to clean up once a
week and see if the effect is not whole
some.

A Bath Tub in Every Household.

Every one needs bath at times
and every human habitation should
contain something for a complete i'm
mersion in water, and, since conven-
lent and efficient portable baths, at
comparatively low figures, are now
extensively advertised for sale, there
is little excuse Tor most people to be
without this priceless benefit. In the
long catalogue of diseases to which
flesh is heir, says well known Troy
physician, scarcely one can be named
in the treatment of which a bath is
useless. To those blessed with good
health, a bath, as common sense ap-
p!iance, gives thrift and growth to
healthy functions, a brightness and
delightful serenity. clearness ofmind
and buoyancy ofspirit. 1t is certain.
Iy @ blessing to both mind and body.
For the mental worker, it is q nerve
tonic. A thorough application of
water of proper temperature will
calm and give strength and tone to
his whole system. The indoor labor
err, who gets but a scanty supply of
fresh air, needs bath to obtain the
skin invigorating elements of the open
air.-Herald of Health.

The Evil Among Working-Men.

At the recent convention of the
Brotherhood of Locomotive Engineers,
held at Chicago, Grand Chief Engineer
P. M. Arthur said:
cit is not my intention to impose
upon this convention any dogma upon
the drink question. But 1 can not re-
frain, in honesty to my own conyic-
tons, from deploring the sad havoc
that intemperance is making in the
ranks of our fellow-men. So great is
this evil that no man or woman who IS
striving to improve their fellows can
help taking it into account. 1t is in
deed an important factor for evil in
our midst. Not only from the physical
and moral standpoint is it working
mischief, but from the standpoint of
labor. The man who has so little self
control that he can not resist the
temptation to degrade himself is al
ways in danger of bringing disgrace
upon his brethren. He loses his self
respect, and to some extent, his indie
pendence, thus making an easier vic
tim to the greed of selfish employer.
l would, therefore, urge upon you the
necessity of abstaining from every
thing that will in the slightest degree
impair your usefulness as citizens, or
your efficiency as locomotive engineers.
Be frugal and Industrious; practice
economy; save your earnings; make
the best use you possibly can of your
time and talents"

But the shadows that pass Ger the soft-cur-

Shame the light with the tale they unfold.
See that profile, clear on the curtain thrown
By the pitiless pencils of light;
Is It visage of man on the Deitys plan,
And formed in his vsage uprights
Or is it something all cruelty marred
By evils dishguring liness
The chiseling rude of appetites lewd,
Where reason to passion resignss
The figure that lowered is dropping and
bowed:
The face that was manly is weakened and
blear;
And the glance of command, and the strong.

Forgotten one, stand in thy place.

Let memory gaze on thy face!
Buoyant hopes of the years all vanished and
gone,
Forgotten hopes, rise from the dust
Ambition, long dead, high resolves early fed,
Iron will, lofty aims, steady trust,
Ye are all, all forgotten. But swarming, to-
night,
In my vision We crowd to the door,
They who gather so fast, are they all of the
past,
All lost in the mem'ries of yore?
Nay, nay. for the present sends witnesses pale;
Forgotten in day. in an hour;
o memory weep, thou with conscience asleep
Shalt waken with terrible power.
For they come, in forgotten in lengthening
line,
A band of accusers, though dumb
Heads that droop, hearts that ache, for the err
ing ones sake;
Father, mother still loving, they come;
And gathering close to their venerable forms
Group the circle of years agone.
Dim are their eyes, and their cheeks are wet,
But the heart of love can never forget
The cherished of life's young dawn.
one more broken band forgotten comes forth,
And the saddening picture is done.

From memorys hold when virtue is dead:
When honor and love, double gift from above,

Forgotten its epitaph carved by despair?
